Thought this was worth a post considering the cost of custom keycaps in Europe.

Inc: Iron Man, Decepticon, Resident Evil, Death Note, Spiderman and more...

● ABS material will be more durable and has long service life.
● Light transmission design can let colorful light transmit through the keycap therefore have different colorful light effects for your keyboard.
● Stylish and personalized shape show you special style.
● Only for illuminated mechanical keyboard.

Nice, been looking on Massdrop for keycaps, but they were metal ones going at $20 a pop.

Also, use code GBJANRT for 8% off.

Anyone recommend a good mech keyboard? For general use not 'pro' gaming

samcatch to jimhuf

2 Feb 16 2 #16

Filco, Ducky Shine or a Pok3r

Jeeva to jimhuf

2 Feb 16 #19

In addition to samcatch's recommendations, the Das Keyboard is rather fantastic, but rather pricey to go with it.

Sogaaddict to jimhuf

2 Feb 16 #29

I was fortunate enugh to pick up one of the recent Cherry brown keyboards via Argos, on here. I don't do gaming but find it a great keyboard to type on, not a full size keyboard though. Those others mentioned here are expensive though, they are full size.

CHERRY Classic Line G80-3000 - Keyboard

Is pretty good.
Got one for work.

ChewHair to jimhuf

3 Feb 16 #37

Stick to Cherry for value and simplicity the Cherry g80-3000 is mechanical keyboard with no frills. The Cherry mx 3.0 is similar but a bit more gaming focussed but only comes with red keys. Or stalk auction sites looking for cherry g80-11900 (cherry blacks with trackpad) or the compaq branded g80-11800 (cherry browns with trackball). You can find both of these for sensible money.

How do you know what keyboards they will fit? I have a razer ultimate

TacticalTimbo to Curtis3012

It's designed for Cherry MX keys, but they should be okay on Razers fake keys.

not many sets available but ive heard more are will be in stock over the next few months

MadeInBeats

2 Feb 16 #34

I'm aware of that site... scant choice and expensive. Buying a full set of caps will cost just as much as a complete keyboard. Let's remember we are only talking about the caps here which are made out of plastic.

If anyone of you guys wish to get a mechanical keyboard but only have a limited budget, this is a great one to start with:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Qisan-Keyboard-Mechanical-Switch-68-Keys/dp/B01A8FKXO4/ref=sr_1_19?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1457557692&sr=1-19&keywords=mechanical+keyboard

It uses Outemu key switches, which are basically duplicates of Cherry MX switches. For £30, these are very hard to beat.

I eventually got mine delivered as well (about a month) but its the only thing I have ordered from gearbest that has turned up without a problem (still waiting after 2 months for a controller) and they never sent a tablet that they said was in stock in the eu warehouse (it wasn't) and I ended up changing to a different one that eventually turned up over 2 months after ordering the 1st tablet. Will not use them again

Had mine arrive the other day. Slight problem with them. They do have quite a thick plastic outing, in comparison to my standard key caps they were twice as thick, maybe 2mm vs 1mm.

Shouldn't cause a problem for most, but since i have some colour changing plastic over my LEDs the keys wouldn't go on.

Just FYI really in case anyone else has a setup like me.

Why do we have to click post before we can vote on HUKD picks? Is it a way of surreptitiously increasing the deals temp as most uninterested or unimpressed with the deal will not click the deal to bother to vote cold.

Um, you don't?

You do need to be logged in, and I believe it gives you the option to log in during the commenting procedure, but if you're logged in already then you can silently vote as much as you like. Try the top right corner.

Mechanical keyboards are expensive on their own, having the ISO UK format makes them even more expensive. I am currently using a Vortex Pok3r UK ISO version, probably my best mechanical keyboard to date, have a look at what that costs:

This model uses Cherry MX blue switches, which are the classic switches in a sense. They are pretty soft to the touch, and are deliver quite a loud satisfying click sound when being typed on (probably one of the loudest switches). If you search up on what type of keyboard you want (full size, Tenkey-less, 60%), what switch you want (gaming, office use, if it can be noisy or not, etc), as well as a set price range, I can help you choose one. :smiley:

It's an add-on for a luxury item; Not sure why you're struggling with this.

Anyway, mine arrived yesterday in two packages.

What's the luxury item? A keyboard? Looking at this picture, it just makes your keyboard look broken, with one key sticking out like a sore thumb.

Yes, a non standard gaming keyboard would be classed as a luxury item.

What are you struggling with?

Thank you for confirming you've got no idea what you're talking about.

13 Mar 16 #77

Well having a quick look, the best gaming keyboards in the business seem to range from £40 - £140.

Not exactly private jets or hypercars are they?

13 Mar 16 #78

How much for a mechanical gaming keyboard?

How much for a standard keyboard?

ezzer72

13 Mar 16 #79

Well, please allow me to add this final bit, and then I'm happy to move on.

If they are a luxury item to some, and therefore treasured (all a bit sad in my opinion, but let's not go there), why on earth would you want to stick a protruding lump of junk on to them? Which was basically my 'issue' in the first place.

Peace out.

Can you tell us all which keyboard you use? Must be good seeing as you like the sound of it so much.
